same. those are sick

Also please get rid of the headband, but I don't think he will because he said that he wanted to wear one in Orlando but it was against the rules so he didn't. Dwight said that he used to wear one every game in high school

"I just put my faith in God. Through him we can do all things" - Kobe Bryant, March 24, 2004

cant wait until hes 100%. you can tell his lift and all his athleticism isnt there yet. a lot of gathering first before a put back etc when normally hed throw it down all in one motion. also cutting to the basket and his face up post moves are slower but still effective...cant wait to see them when hes full speed and lift. instead of all the hooks theyll be some sick dunks in the post too

After goofing off and posing like the Heisman & Captain Morgan, Dwight reflected on Kareem getting a statue ..."Having his statue put up, that’s like one of the biggest honors for a basketball player, for a person in general, to have a statue," Howard said after Friday's shootaround in advance of the Lakers' game against the Phoenix Suns.

"I’m just happy for him. All the things he’s done here in L.A. with the team, he’s just a great man overall. I think he’s awesome."

As Howard touched on a couple other Kareem questions, you couldn't help but notice Abdul-Jabbar's No. 33 jersey hanging up on the wall at the Lakers' practice facility behind him.

On their summer meeting: "We haven’t had a chance to really sit down and talk since then. He understands that with the season and everything is going on it’s best to kind of like just wait until we have some more sitdowns."

On Kareem's support of him: "It’s mean a lot. I just recall sitting down and talking to him and him telling me, ‘All the hard work you put in in the last eight years is going to pay off and just remain the same way. Don’t change for anybody.’"

On their heights: "He was 7-5. I’m only 6-9, 6-10 on a good day. Maybe. I try to do a skyhook, but those 7-footers are right there."

On Kareem's advice to him: "Just have fun. He liked that I’m out there smiling and I bring a joy to the game."

Dwight also joked that he had a statue of himself at his house doing a beefcake pose and that he was the model for the Karl Malone, John Stockton and Michael Jordan statues (the last one showing that he needs to work on his brand loyalty because adidas guys shouldn't be pumping up the Jordan Brand)
